The AFL’s All-Australian side will be stacked with new faces this year, with some 24 potential debutants included in a preliminary squad.

The final 22-man team will be revealed on Thursday but the league revealed its 40-man squad on Monday.

Adelaide superstar Rory Sloane, Richmond gun Dustin Martin and Melbourne ruckman Max Gawn were included and are fully expected to earn All-Australian honours for the first time.

Greater Western Sydney co-captain Callan Ward, Hawthorn forward Jack Gunston and Sydney on-baller Luke Parker are among the other notable names in the mix to earn their first All-Australian call-up.

Collingwood skipper Scott Pendlebury, Geelong veteran Corey Enright and Sydney superstar Lance Franklin are in line for their sixth All-Australian selection.

Brisbane and Essendon were the only clubs without at least one representative.
